Sir David Attenborough este redactor științific și cercetător naturalist britanic. Cariera lui ca față și voce a științelor naturii durează de peste 50 de ani. Attenborough este considerat de britanici comoară națională, cu toate că el nu-și arogă astfel de titluri. El este fratele mai mic al regizorului, producătorului și actorului Richard Attenborough.[1]
